I've left my profile as it is but anyone who emails me will get my auto response saying I'm not working until further notice. I'm not displaying phone number or anything else either.

I have 'back soon' or similar to mine, but like you the rest is in the autoreply (and it already says that if my number isn't showing I'm not available or taking calls). I actually got an email yesterday from somebody I'd seen before at some point wishing me well and enquiring about my finances, specifically whether I'd get the 80% self employed money in June or whether I would have earned too much. Jesus wept.

I think that's most definitely the case. If you dont mind burlesque could you let me know if camming is worth doing. It's something I could try even if to just top up funds to go available when we can go back available.

Thanks and hope you have some success camming. First me tonight after doing a workout and feeding the kids its pjs and a glass/bottle of wine lol

I had a shit time on Cam sadly, got really impatient with it. I suspect its the worse time to start trying it. Last time I did just dom camming and that was better but wasn't great so I put myself in a non fetish category and that was a non starter so if I ever do it again it'll be trying the dom again. I think the pandemic is effecting all sex work at the mo sadly  :-[

That's a shame burlesque. I don't think I will bother, I don't have the patience for it. Have my direct chat available today but not a sausage lol I'm trying not to think too much about the coming months but I still have rent to pay on my work flat until may and
I don't want to give it up incase things pick up. Maybe sell panties and tights, I have loads of sexy undies gathering dust now. One positive to keeping my work flat is if kids are home I can still work. I don't know how long the schools and colleges will be closed.

I prefer the idea of dom camming, I do loads of dom stuff escorting.

I have changed the tagline on my main ads to say I am not available for the foreseeable future and have changed the text on my homepage and booking page on my personal site to say the same. Originally wasn't going to but have had idiots contacting and when say I'm not working and that no sex worker should be doing visits, it's all "but your ad doesn't say your not working"

I have had on my profile stated I will not work and taken phone number down but today some guy messaged meon Whatspp "Hi"....Now either he is one of many who will try now to get some kind of contact or sext talk or fishing to see if I will take the bait. Told him straight I will not be working until....

He will be blocked for sure.

I've taken my phone number down and stated I won't be back until September. My auto response states the same.

Doesn't stop the AW emails from tossers asking me to tour in their area soon. Unbelievable, really.

For people doing street work, the managed area in Leeds has (temporarily, I think) gone.

By pure chance, I closed my business in November to move premises and advertised on my website that I'd re open in March
LOL!
sorry, it's all my fault.

Seriously, I was going to update MY website to say check back in SEptember, but I have now put November with the caveat that I won't be back at work until it's safe even if that's in 2 years time.

I'd say 90% of my clients are over 60 and many are in their 70s and 80s,  the older they are the more I enjoy seeing them.
I couldn't risk passing on something that could kill them. A high percentage are extra vulnerable.

Now, I 'm not saying other women should do that - your clients aren't my clients.

What I am saying is that I've really enjoyed working with the vulnerable old guys and that's what I want to do.
It's weird after this business has been a big part of my life for 25 years!!! And now not at all.

It certainly won't be worth my while to open up shop in November if I have to advertise the client is only for the physically fit and young.

Fortunately, I have another side gig going, something completely different and now I'll be putting all my time into that - gotta make it work.

The age of the gents i see is mostly 50 to 68 and i would avoid seeing those gents. But there is possible hope with the test kits. Not entirely sure as so much is printed daily online so it's not definite. No way can the country continue on lockdown for months so something needs to be done to check those cv free and those with antibodies from already having CV.

Catch YOU out!!

If anybody thinks escorts should not be working oroffered any medical help if they catch the virus and want them prosecuted by police then what do they think of AW? Will they still use them and pay them money when all this is over?

Lets be honest.  AW are still encouraging escorts to escort so the same judgemental people should boycott them as they are the core to ladies getting any getting work in lockdown? I think I am making a fair point.

Because if anybody continues to use AW then it’s a bit rich slagging off WGs who work because it’s AW who lets them.

If anybody believes in something that much then see it all the way through. After all, AW are happy to let people die.

I think I get what you mean, like, if someone has a problem with any individual escort working still why don't they have a problem with sites like adultwork still profiting from escorting through the featuring fees they get and phone number displays and so forth? If I understand you correctly, then yea its a bit rich.

Have tidied it up since you quoted but yes that’s what I mean. The same holier than thou angels just now will still use AW later.
